After the Battle of Jieqiao, Liu Ze ordered the subordinate troops of Pingyuan County to strengthen their training and raise their combat readiness level to prepare for a war that could come at any time. Although Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan temporarily withdrew their troops, the battle between the two males will never stop, and it will become more and more intense, Pingyuan County is at the junction of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and may be involved in the war at any time. Liu Ze did not dare to be careless, the safety of tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of people in the plains depended on him, and he felt a heavy responsibility.

Autumn went to winter, Cai Yan's belly gradually got bigger, Liu Ze finished handling military affairs every day and spent all his time by his wife's side, this time undoubtedly became his happiest and warmest moment.

A snow shrouded the northern land, up and down the river, a vast expanse. In the midst of this snowfall, another New Year was ushered in.

During the Chinese New Year, the army rarely took a few days off, but Zhang Fei was so bored that he came to Liu Ze and asked Liu Ze to accompany him to hunt.

Liu Ze looked at Cai Yan's bulging belly in embarrassment, shook his head and said, "Third brother, your sister-in-law is about to give birth, I really can't leave." Let Yun Chang accompany you, and call Zilong as well. ”

Zhang Fei muttered: "Of course the second brother is going, Zilong is not available on duty." Big brother, how long have we not been together-" Zhang Fei didn't shout out that he was heavy and light on friends, and he forgot about his brother after marrying his wife, but Zhang Fei was embarrassed to say it in front of Cai Yan, but his dissatisfaction was on his face.

Zhao Yun was on duty to defend, and although it snowed heavily during the Chinese New Year, the possibility of the enemy attacking was zero, but in Liu Ze's military dictionary, there was never the word slack.

Cai Yan stroked his big belly with his hand. said with a smile: "It's rare that the third uncle is so interested, the husband will go out with them to play, if the concubine doesn't have a big belly, she really wants to go out to look for plums." ”

"But......" Cai Yan will give birth in a few days, and Liu Ze doesn't want to leave at this time.

"Don't worry, there is still a period of time before production, and my husband must not lose his brotherly love because of this." Cai Yan persuaded.

Liu Ze had no choice but to respond, put on a cotton robe and went out of the mansion with Zhang Fei. Guan Yu at the door was already ready to go, and when he saw Liu Ze coming out, he was slightly surprised: "Third brother." You've got to call Big Brother here. ”

Zhang Fei laughed. said: "Second brother, you lost." ”

Guan Yu said boldly: "Okay, these two jars of good wine will lose to you!" ”

"What are you betting on?" Liu Ze asked while instructing his own soldiers to bring the jade lion of the night.

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I said I was going to call you up to hunt today." The second brother didn't believe it. I'll make a bet with him. The stakes are two jars of good wine. ”

Although Guan Yu lost, he could still see that he was very happy, and Liu Ze was a little ashamed. Indeed, after he got married, he rarely could be with the two brothers again, whether it was a business or a war, he used to eat at the same table and sleep at the same bed, and from Zhang Fei's dissatisfaction, it can be seen that he is indeed a little estranged in terms of brotherhood.

"Okay, let's have a good time today!" Liu Ze stepped on the horse and laughed heartily.

The snow is vast, and the sky and the earth are the same. Snow hunting has a special taste, as wild beasts walk on the snow and leave rows of footprints, and it is not difficult to get prey by following these footprints.

Along the way, the harvest was good, and a few hares and roe deer were hunted one after another, but the terrain of Pingyuan County was flat, there were no big forests, and there were no fierce beasts such as tigers and leopards, and even wolves were rare. But Liu Ze didn't care, when he came out to hunt, he actually came out to play and relax, the prey came second, and he could be happy with the two brothers who worshipped, that was the most important thing.

Unconsciously, they had walked dozens of miles, the front was undulating, and entered the hilly area, Zhang Fei and Liu Zema were fast, running in front, and Guan Yu and his entourage were a few miles away. Zhang Fei saw a small cave in front of him, and there was no snow around, so he couldn't help but exclaim: "Look at a cave in front, will there be bears?" ”

Bears are hibernates, usually living in caves or tree hollows in winter, making winter a great time to hunt bears. Liu Ze jumped off the horse, walked to Zhang Fei's approach, and looked inside the cave, which was dark and unfathomable, but faintly smelled a fishy smell.

"Haha, it looks like today's luck is good." Liu Ze concluded that there must be a black bear living in the cave, and if he can hunt a bear back, it is definitely worth the trip today.

Although the bear is hibernating, it is still very dangerous, and any movement may wake up the mature bear, so you cannot enter the bear cave when hunting the bear, and you must lure the bear out of the cave.

Zhang Fei was a little impatient, he came over from the left and right and hugged a large number of dead branches, piled them at the entrance of the cave, and lit the dead branches with a fire fold, the dead branches after the snow were a little anti-damp, and the flames were not very high after ignition, but the smoke was billowing out. Zhang Fei wanted exactly this effect, and ripped off a piece of clothing and fanned the hole, but saw the billowing smoke rushing straight into the hole.

After a while, only the sound of roaring could be heard from inside the cave, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and the sound of heavy footsteps shook the ground with a roar. Liu Ze held the bow in his left hand, buckled the arrow in his right hand, took dozens of steps back, and said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, the bear is out, quickly retreat and shoot it with a bow and arrow." ”

Zhang Fei stayed at the entrance of the cave and did not retreat, took out his waist knife, and said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just a black bear, I can solve it with two knives!" "Zhang Fei has also hunted black bears before, as if he was playing.

Just as he was speaking, half of a bear's shadow was revealed at the entrance of the cave, Zhang Fei shouted, jumped up several feet high, raised his knife and slashed down at the bear's skull. However, when Zhang Fei slashed down with this knife, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, because he saw the whole picture of the bear, God, is this the black bear you usually see? Apparently not like it, the brownish-yellow fur, at least a few heads taller than the average black bear, and the waist circumference was at least twice that of a black bear, and it was clear that the bear was choked by the smoke enough to crawl out of the cave shaking its head.

Liu Ze also saw it, where is this black bear, it is clearly a tall and strong Siberian brown bear, standing upright at least two meters eight tall and weighing at least one ton, Liu Ze didn't have time to think that this Siberian brown bear came from there, but he knew very well that this bear was definitely not easy to deal with.

"Third brother! Hurry back! Don't cut! Liu Ze shouted to stop Zhang Fei.

However, Liu Ze shouted late, and Zhang Fei's movements were done in one go, but he cut according to the height of an ordinary black bear, and this knife cut down, naturally he couldn't cut the brown bear's skull, and only cut it on the brown bear's shoulder.

The waist knife is sharp enough, and Zhang Fei's strength is quite large, and when this knife goes down, the entire back of the knife is submerged into the brown bear's shoulder. However, brown bears have rough skin and thick flesh, and Zhang Fei's knife is difficult to kill even if it cuts deep. But the brown bear who had just woken up from the dream was obviously angry, and his half-squinted bear eyes were like copper bells, and he roared loudly, picked up the thick bear paw, and slapped Zhang Fei in the face.

Zhang Fei slashed down, and also felt that the situation was not good, and wanted to withdraw the knife, but the waist knife was stuck in the flesh and bones of the brown bear, and he pulled it hard, but he didn't pull the knife out. At this time, the brown bear's slap that was enough to open the stele crack stone roared, Zhang Fei was still agile, and hurriedly flashed to the side, but he flashed slowly, and was still swept a little by the brown bear's slap, Zhang Fei immediately flew out two feet away, and fell into a lot of meat.

Don't look at the usual bears are stupid and stupid, but a really angry bear is as agile as the wind, even lions and tigers may not dare to provoke, not to mention a big brown bear weighing a ton like a small mountain, at this time the brown bear has completely gone berserk and rushed towards Zhang Fei angrily.

Liu Ze couldn't see it well, once the brown bear pounced, he had to tear Zhang Fei to pieces, and hurriedly took the bow and arrow, the bow was like a full moon, and the arrow was like a meteor, and he shot the brown bear in the left eye impartially. Although Liu Ze's archery skills are not bad, they are far from the point of piercing through the Yang in a hundred steps, but today, if this arrow has divine help, it actually hit the left eye of the brown bear with an arrow, and even Liu Ze was deeply surprised.

The brown bear screamed in pain, and its cry echoed through the valley. However, this arrow was obviously not enough to kill, and the furious brown bear immediately transferred its hatred to Liu Ze's body, landed on the ground with its front paws, and rushed towards Liu Ze like a fly. The speed of the brown bear can reach about forty or fifty miles, which is a very amazing speed in the jungle, Liu Zeke has no intention of racing with the brown bear, holding his bow and arrows, thinking that as long as he shoots the other eye of the brown bear, it will be completely invisible.

Liu Ze was not sure of the long distance, but within a range of more than ten or twenty steps, Liu Ze was still confident, this arrow had to be shot, otherwise with the speed of the brown bear rushing up, there would be absolutely no chance to shoot a second arrow. So Liu Ze kept holding the bow steadily, watching the brown bear come over step by step, calmly pulling the bow like a full moon, and swishing an arrow, hitting the brown bear in the right eye. The brown bear was hit by an arrow and rolled on the ground in pain.

Liu Ze clenched his fists and shouted, "YES! Hehe smiled, at the most critical juncture, he was still able to calm down, and in one arrow, Liu Ze couldn't help but secretly praise his psychological element.

But the weirdest thing happened, the blind brown bear actually stood up, roared lowly, spun around a few times in place, and pounced viciously in the direction of Liu Ze.

Liu Ze was shocked and covered with cold sweat, and suddenly remembered that he had read in books that the bear's eyesight and hearing were very weak, but it had a developed sense of smell, although it was blind at the moment, its sensitive sense of smell was still there, and it quickly locked Liu Ze's position, and with the anger of a volcanic eruption, he pounced upright.

At this time, it was too late for Liu Ze to shoot arrows, so he had to turn around and run away, but it was not easy to run on the snow, as soon as Liu Ze turned around, he slipped and fell to the ground, looking at the bear paw that had already pounced, Liu Ze secretly shouted: "My life is over!"
